Teaching and Learning with Technology Symposium

We are continuing our partnership with the Finger Lakes Faculty Development Network (FLFDN) to offer a special “Teaching and Learning with Technology Symposium” track as part of Ed Tech Day. The symposium consists of sessions specifically focusing on innovations and best practices in using technology for teaching and learning, as well as scholarship assessing the effect of technology on student learning.

Discussion Sessions

Discuss..IT

The Discuss…IT sessions provide an opportunity to chat with others who are interested in the same topic to share ideas, frustrations and solutions. The sessions will be facilitated by people familiar with the issue, but the content will come from you. Many of our featured presenters will be conducting a Discuss..IT session immediately following their presentation to allow you to continue the dialog on their topic.

10:00

Technology in K-12 Schools
Facilitated by: TBD

11:00

Women in IT
Facilitated by: Clare Van Den Blink, CIO, Pace University and Katie Vale, Vice President for Information and Library Services and Librarian of Bates College
